Manchester United’s opening defeat throws up more questions than answers

Manchester United's opening defeat against Arsenal has raised more questions than answers for new manager Ruben Amorim. Despite United's 22 shots to Arsenal's 8, they were unable to find the back of the net, with goalkeeper Altay Bayindir's timid performance leading to Riccardo Calafiori's winning goal. Midfielder Casemiro acknowledged that losing is not acceptable for a club like Manchester United, which is always expected to win. While the team showed some promising moments, particularly the budding partnership between Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, the defeat has highlighted the scale of the task facing Amorim as he begins his first full season in charge.
